Daredevils only. That’s the vibe I get standing before Panic Falls Speed Slides. Here at Soak City in Shakopee prepare to challenge yourself. This isn’t just any waterslide. It’s a freefall experience.
Panic Falls Speed Slides is more than just a ride. It’s a plunge into pure adrenaline. These slides have thrilled guests for years. They offer a steep drop and a big splash.
These speed slides were installed in 1988. They offer a thrilling experience for those brave enough to try them. Before 1988 the area was named Liquid Lightning. Later the name changed to Whitewater Country Waterpark in 1992.
Valleyfair’s Soak City is home to these twin terrors. The height requirement is 56 inches. Are you tall enough to handle the panic?
Imagine standing atop a 50-foot tower. The wind whips around you. The world shrinks below. Two high-speed slides await. Straight down. Freefall.
Remember a few rules. Keep your feet first. Cross your arms over your chest. Cross your legs at the ankles. Keep your back flat against the slide. No exceptions.
Safety is key. Riders need at least four functioning extremities. No casts allowed. Swimwear must be free of zippers. Also no rivets or buttons. Eyewear, shirts, and aqua socks must be removed. Hold tight to them.
These aren’t the only slides here. Panic Falls Body Slides offer a different thrill. Those slides have quick turns and sudden drops. But the Speed Slides? These are pure vertical terror.
So you climb those stairs. Feel the anticipation build. Look down. Is that fear or excitement? Probably both.
Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. That’s when Panic Falls Speed Slides comes alive. The sun shines. The water sparkles. Screams echo.
So take a deep breath. Lean forward. Trust the water. Embrace the panic. Feel the rush as you plummet down.
The drop lasts only seconds. But the memory lasts a lifetime. That is the thrill of Panic Falls Speed Slides. A true Soak City favorite.
Now, who’s brave enough to go again?
